Teaching And Home Schooling Ideas

Draw a bar chart of the length of objects you have measured either in the house or from the garden. We used the measurements from objects in nature we had measured on a walk down our lane.  https://teachingandhomeschoolingideas.blogspot.com/2020/04/measuring-in-nature.html?m=1 I drew the axes and Thomas labelled them. The lengths were drawn in mm going up in 10s. (Chance to practise 10x table!) I measured two centimetres for each 10mm and so could put a mark for every 5mm as we had an object that measured 15mm. Once axes are drawn and labelled, then draw the bars at the correct length. Colour in each bar a different colour. We gave our barchart a title - This Is A Bar Graph To Show The Lengths Of Objects.

We went for a walk in our garden and farm lane with clipboard, ruler and tape measure. We measured small objects in nature, but you could measure objects in the home. We measured in cm and converted to mm as well. 1cm = 10mm so good for practising 10x table. We are going to draw a barchart of the lengths.
